(This dictionary of Anglo-Indian terms gives the definitio...)
This dictionary of Anglo-Indian terms gives the definition and etymology of over two thousand words in common use in colonial India in the late nineteenth century. First published in 1886, it was written by the Scottish orientalist Sir Henry Yule (1820-1889) and Arthur C. Burnell (1840-1882), an English scholar of Sanskrit and author of a Handbook of South Indian Palaeography. Whereas previous glossaries focused on technical terms used by the Indian administration, this work aims at dealing with words that recur in the daily English of India: 'either as expressing ideas really not provided for' by English, or wrongly 'supposed by the speakers to express something not capable of just denotation by any English term'. Tracing the literary sources and Indian origins of words such as cooly or curry, but also - more surprisingly - tank or veranda, this dictionary is a fascinating resource for the modern reader.

Excerpt from A Tentative List of Books and Some Mss: Relating to the History of the Portuguese in India Proper Lord Stanley of Alderly has given very full indications of authorities in his prefaces to his publications (for the Hakluyt Society) which have been of much use to me. The following pages are, I believe, the first attempt of the kind; the books I have referred to abound in obvious errors of many kinds, which I have sometimes been able to correct, but have often been obliged to leave as I found them; I cannot have failed to add others of my own, but, I trust, not many.

Arthur Coke Burnell w'as born at St Briavels, Gloucestershire, on July 11, 1840. His father was an official of the East India Company.
In 1874 he published a Handbook of South Indian Palaeography, characterized by Max Muller as "indispensable to every student of Indian literature, " and in 1880 issued for the Madras government his greatest work, the Classified Index to the Sanskrit MSS.
In 1860 Burnell went out to Madras as a member of the Indian civil service. Here he utilized every available opportunity to acquire or copy Sanskrit manuscripts. In 1870 he presented his collection of 350 manuscripts to the India library. In 1874 he published a Handbook of South Indian Palaeography, characterized by Max Muller as "indispensable to every student of Indian literature, " and in 1880 issued for the Madras government his greatest work, the Classified Index to the Sanskrit manuscripts in the Palace at Tanjore. He was also the author of a large number of translations from, and commentaries on, various other Sanskrit manuscripts, being particularly successful in grouping and elucidating the essential principles of Hindu law. In addition to his exhaustive acquaintance with Sanskrit, and the southern India vernaculars, he had some knowledge of Tibetan, Arabic, Kawi, Javanese and Coptic.
His constitution, never strong, broke down prematurely through the combined influence of overwork and the Madras climate, and he died at West Stratton, Hampshire, on the 12th of October 1882. A further collection of Sanskrit manuscripts was purchased from his heirs by the India library after his death.
